8 The chart presented is based on the average of attendance of the Plenary Sessions by the Members of the National

Parliament recorded by the Demoractic Governance Support Unit-UNMIT. The average is based on actual counting

of number of MPs who were at the beginning and the end of the morning and afternoon plenary sessions. The

figures presented in this section are rounded up. 9 For February 2010, the actual average of attendance is based on 5 sessions monitored out of 7 plenary sessions

held. 10

For May 2010, UNMIT / DGSU monitored 8 sessions out of the 9 sessions held as the 3rd

of May 2010 was a UN

holiday. Please note however the observed average of attendance is based on 7 sessions as the session of 24 May is

included in the overall counting of meetings (9); but it was not included for the purposes of this statistical analysis

as the session was adjouned right after it started. 11

From 15 July to 15 September 2010, the National Parliament was in recess; during the recess period, the Standing

Committee (composed of 27 MPs) functions. The attendance of the Standing Committee meetings has not been

included in the statistical analysis. 12

The attendance at the Formal Opening of the 4th Legislative Session of the II Legislative Term on 14 October

2010 was not included in the statistical analysis. 13

For November 2010, UNMIT / DGSU monitored 3 out of the 6 sessions held; the observed average of attendance

is therefore based on 3 sessions. 14

The Human Development Index

Each year since 1990 the Human Development Report has published the Human Development

Index (HDI)which was introduced as an alternative to conventional measures of national

development, such as level of income and the rate of economic growth. The HDI represents a

push for a broader definition of well-being and provides a composite measure of three basic

dimensions of human development: health, education and income.

Timor-Leste's HDI is 0.502, which gives the country a rank of 120 out of 169 countries with

comparable data.

The HDI of East Asia and the Pacific as a region increased from 0.391 in 1980 to 0.650 today,

placing Timor-Leste below the regional average. The HDI trends tell an important story both at

the national and regional level and highlight the very large gaps in well-being and life chances

that continue to divide our interconnected world.

Aggregate Indicator: Voice and Accountability80

Aggregate Indicator: Political Stability and Absence of Violence81

Aggregate Indicator: Government Effectiveness82

78

The WGI do not reflect the official views of the World Bank, its Executive Directors, or the countries they

represent. The WGI are not used by the World Bank Group to allocate resources. (Source:

http://info.worldbank.org/governance/wgi/index.asp) 79

The Report displays the country's performance for all available years between 1996 and 2008 in six governance

dimensions: i) Voice & Accountability, ii) Political Stability and Lack of Violence/Terrorism, iii) Government

Effectiveness, iv) Regulatory Quality, v) Rule of Law, and vi) Control of Corruption. (Source:

http://info.worldbank.org/governance/wgi/index.asp) 80

Voice and Accountability measures the extent to which country’s citizens are able to participate in selecting

their government, as well as freedom of expression, freedom of association, and a free media. 81

Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism measures the perceptions of the likelihood that the

government will be destabilized or overthrown by unconstitutional or violent means, including domestic violence

and terrorism. 82

Government Effectiveness measures the quality of public services, the quality of the civil service and the degree

of its independence from political pressures, the quality of policy formulation and implementation, and the

credibility of the government’s commitment to such policies.

Aggregate Indicator: Regulatory Quality83

Aggregate Indicator: Rule of Law84

Aggregate Indicator: Control of Corruption85

Explanatory Note:

Percentile ranks indicate the percentage of countries worldwide that rate below the selected country. Higher values

thus indicate better governance ratings. Percentile ranks have been adjusted to account for changes over time in the

set of countries covered by the governance indicators. The dashed lines indicate the statistically-likely range of

governance indicator [known as the confidence level]. For instance a percentile rank of 75% with the dashed lines

at 60% to 85% has the following interpretation: an estimated 75% of the countries rate worse and an estimated

25% of the countries rate better than the country choice. However, at the 90% confidence level, only 60% of the

countries rate worse, while only 15% of the countries rate better.

(Source: http://info.worldbank.org/governance/wgi/index.asp)

83

Regulatory Quality measures the ability of the government to formulate and implement sound policies and

regulations that permit and promote private sector development. 84

Rule of Law measures the extent to which agents have confidence in and abide by the rules of society, in

particular the quality of contract enforcement, the police, and the courts, as well as the likelihood of crime and

violence. 85

Control of Corruption measures the extent to which public power is exercised for private gain, including petty

and grand forms of corruption, as well as ―capture‖ of the state by elites and private interests.

The Global Competitiveness Report is prepared by the World Economic Forum. It assesses the ability of countries

to provide high levels of prosperity to their citizens. This in turn depends on how productively a country uses

available resources. Therefore, the Global Competitiveness Index measures the set of institutions, policies, and

factors that set the sustainable current and medium-term levels of economic prosperity (Source:

Annex 23: Revenue Watch Institute – Revenue Watch Index 201088

The Revenue Watch Index attempts to measure and compare the information governments disclose about the oil, gas and mining

industries, including payments to those governments, contracts, regulations and related data.. To measure revenue transparency, the

Revenue Watch Index evaluates the availability of information covering seven key areas of natural resource management: (1) Access to

resources: the availability of data detailing contracts and licensing terms and procedures, as well as the existing legal and regulatory

mechanisms related to the accessibility of information; (2) Generation of revenue: the availability of detailed information published by

various government agencies on production and payments, as well as an assessment of its accessibility and frequency; (3)Institutional

setting: the rules, roles and responsibilities of the main actors involved in the management of revenue generation, as well as the presence

of internal controls and other checks; (4) State-owned companies: the availability of information regarding the governance structures of

state-owned entities and the reporting practices related to their activities; (5) Natural resource funds: the rules governing the operation of

funds and their reporting practices; (6) Sub-national transfers: the laws that regulate revenue sharing among different levels of

government and the disclosure of information about revenue sharing; (7) Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI): the extent to

which member countries have fulfilled EITI criteria (i.e. publication of EITI reports, independent payment audits and reconciliations,

and information about payments and revenue from state-owned companies). (Source: Revenue Watch Index 2010)

1. Comprehensive Revenue Transparency

(average score 67-100): countries in this group

provide their citizens with substantial amounts of

information about revenue from the extractive

sector. Governments show strong reporting

practices and tend to make available detailed or

disaggregated data on the different areas of the

extractive sector under their authority.

2. Partial Revenue Transparency (average

score 34-66): countries in the middle category of

the ranking provide their citizens with

information about their revenue from the

extractive sector, yet have important

transparency gaps in one or more specific

categories of the index.

3. Scant Revenue Transparency (average

score 0-33): countries in the bottom of the

ranking disclose the least amount of information

and have poor reporting practices across all the

categories the index covers.

Annex 24: International Budget Partnership – Open Budget Index 2010

The International Budget Partnership’s Open Budget Survey assesses the availability in each

country assessed of eight key budget documents, as well as the comprehensiveness of the data

contained in these documents. The Survey also examines the extent of effective oversight

provided by legislatures and supreme audit institutions (SAI), as well as the opportunities

available to the public to participate in national budget decision-making processes.

Timor-Leste’s score is 34 out of 100, which is less than the average score of 42 for the 94

countries surveyed.

Information in Public Budget Documents

* Grades for the comprehensiveness and accessibility of the information provided in each document are calculated from

the average scores received on a subset of questions from the Open Budget Survey 2010. An average score between 0-20

(scant information) is graded as E; 21-40 (minimal) is graded as D; 41-60 (some) is graded as C; 61-80 (significant) is

graded as B; and 81-100 (extensive) is graded as A.

107

Public Participation and Institutions of Accountability

Beyond improving the availability and comprehensiveness of key budget documents, there are

other ways in which Timor-Leste’s budget process can be made more open. These include

ensuring the existence of a strong legislature and SAI that provide effective budget oversight,

and providing greater opportunities for public engagement in the budget process

** Legislature and SAI strengths are calculated from the average scores received for a subset of questions from the Open

Budget Survey 2010. An average score between 0-33 is graded as weak, 34-66 as moderate, and 67-100 as strong.

(1) According to the Open Budget Survey 2010, budget oversight provided by Timor–Leste’s

legislature is inadequate because it does not: (2) have sufficient time to discuss and approve a

budget; and (3) hold open budget discussions at which the public can testify.

According to the Open Budget Survey 2010, Timor -Leste has not established a SAI and

presently state finances are audited by an external accounting firm.

Recommendations

Timor-Leste should:

publish budget documents that are already being produced — the Pre-Budget

Statement • and the Enacted Budget -- on the government’s website;

begin to produce and publish a Citizens Budget and Mid-Year Review;•

improve the comprehensiveness of the Executive’s Budget Proposal;•

provide opportunities for the public to testify at legislative hearings on the budget; •

increase the powers of the legislature to provide more comprehensive oversight not

only when the budget is being approved but also during the budget execution period;

establish a supreme audit institution that produces and publishes timely and •

comprehensive audit reports.

Annex 25: Transparency International - Corruption Perceptions Index

Transparency International published an annual Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) table that

shows a country's ranking and score, the number of surveys used to determine the score, and the

confidence range of the scoring.

The rank shows how one country compares to others included in the index. The CPI score

indicates the perceived level of public-sector corruption in a country/territory. The following

table shows the ranking for Timor-Leste from 2006 (the first year data were available) to 2010.

Annex 26: Democracy Index 201090

The third edition of the Economist Intelligence Unit’s democracy index reflects the situation as

of November 2010. The index provides a snapshot of the state of democracy worldwide for 165

independent states and two territories—this covers almost the entire population of the world and

the vast majority of the world’s independent states (micro states are excluded). Below table lists

Democracy Index rank of some selected countries including Timor-Leste in 42nd

rank:

Source: Extracted from the report from the Economist Intelligence Unit, The Economist 2010, www.eiu.com

Methodology

The Economist Intelligence Unit’s index of democracy, on a 0 to 10 scale, is based on the ratings

for 60 indicators grouped in five categories: electoral process and pluralism; civil liberties; the

functioning of government; political participation; and political culture. Each category has a

rating on a 0 to 10 scale, and the overall index of democracy is the simple average of the five

category indexes. The category indexes are based on the sum of the indicator scores in the

category, converted to a 0 to 10 scale. Adjustments to the category scores are made if countries

do not score a 1 in the following critical areas for democracy:

1. whether national elections are free and fair

2. the security of voters

3. the influence of foreign powers on government

4. the capability of the civil service to implement policies.

If the scores for the first three questions are 0 (or 0.5), one point (0.5 point) is deducted from the

index in the relevant category (either the electoral process and pluralism or the functioning of

government). If the score for 4 is 0, one point is deducted from the functioning of government

category index.

Features of the Economist Intelligence Unit index

Public opinion surveys

A crucial, differentiating aspect of our measure is that in addition to experts’ assessments we

use, where available, public opinion surveys—mainly the World Values Survey. Indicators

based on the surveys predominate heavily in the political participation and political culture

categories, and a few are used in the civil liberties and functioning of government categories.

In addition to the World Values Survey, other sources that can be leveraged include the

Eurobarometer surveys, Gallup polls, Asian Barometer, Latin American Barometer,

Afrobarometer and national surveys. In the case of countries for which survey results are

missing, survey results for similar countries and expert assessment are used to fill in gaps.

Participation and voter turnout

After increasing for many decades, there has been a trend of decreasing voter turnout in most

established democracies since the 1960s. Low turnout may be due to disenchantment, but it can

also be a sign of contentment. Many, however, see low turnout as undesirable, and there is much

debate over the factors that affect turnout and how to increase it. A high turnout is generally seen

as evidence of the legitimacy of the current system. Contrary to widespread belief, there is in

fact a close correlation between turnout and overall measures of democracy-that is, developed,

consolidated democracies have, with very few exceptions, higherturnout (generally above 70%)

than less established democracies.

The legislative and executive branches

The appropriate balance between these is much-disputed in political theory. In our model the

clear predominance of the legislature is rated positively as there is a very strong correlation

between legislative dominance and measures of overall democracy.

INTERNATIONAL

TREATY

Agreement resulting from the convergence of wills of two or more

international law subjects, formalized in a written text, with the purpose

of producing legal effects in the international plan. In other words, the

treaty is a means through which international law subjects – mainly

national States and international organizations – determine rights and

obligations between themselves. The States and international

organizations (and other international law subjects) that celebrate a

certain treaty are called ―Contracting Parties‖ (or simply ―Parties‖) of

this treaty.

J

JORNAL DA REPÚBLICA Official newspaper of the Republic of Timor-Leste, which publishes the


112

laws so that they may enter into force. It is published by the National

Printing House in two series: Laws, Decree-Laws, decisions by the

Constitutional Court and other relevant texts are published in Series I;

regulations, public contracts, etc. are published in Series II. As in many

other countries, legislative texts enter into force only after being

published.

L

LAW

The word law can be used with three different meanings, according to

the intended scope. In the broadest sense, law is every legal rule,

written or not, and covers the habits and all rules formally produced by

the State. In a broad sense, law is the written legal rule, excluding legal

habit. In a strict sense, it means the normative act by excellence, issued

from the National Parliament.

LAW-MAKING

Science that studies the ways of designing and writing normative acts.

In colloquial terms, law-making is the art of drafting laws well, in the

sense that it consubstantiates a set of rules – law-making rules – the

purpose of which is to contribute to a good drafting of laws.

LEGAL PROCEDURES Set of legal requirements for starting a process.

LEGISLATION Set of legal precepts regulating a certain matter.

LEGISLATIVE ACT Manifestation of the will with strength of law and meant to produce law

effects. It is one of the three sovereign powers of the State, responsible

for the drafting of laws.

LEGISLATIVE

COMPETENCE Legal capacity for drafting laws, decree-laws, regulations and decrees.

LEGISLATIVE POWER

Power to legislate, create and sanction laws. The goal is to draft law

rules with general or individual scope that are applied to all society, in

view of satisfying the needs of the pressure groups; public

administration; society. The legislative power elementary functions

include that of overseeing the executive power and voting on budget

laws.

M -

N NATIONAL

PARLIAMENT

Assembly of representatives elected by the citizens in democratic

regimes, normally holding legislative power.

O

ORGANIC LAW Law on the organization and operation of the Government and

respective Ministries. It covers the general dispositions and sets up the

main functions and actuation instruments.

P

PUBLIC

ADMINISTRATION

In organic or subjective sense, Public Administration is the set of State

bodies, services and agents, as well as the further public legal persons,

which ensures the satisfying of various collective needs, such as

security, culture, health and the wellbeing of the populations. A person

employed by Public Administration is called a civil servant. It can also

be defined objectively as the concrete and immediate activity that States

develop for ensuring collective interests, and subjectively as the set of

legal bodies and persons to which the Law attributes the exercise of the

administrative function of the State. Under the operational aspect,

Public Administration is the perennial and systematic, legal and

113

technical development of the services belonging to the State, benefiting

the whole.

PROMULGATION

Internal legal act by which the President of the Republic attests the

existence of a duly ratified law, Decree-Law, treaty, etc., and order its

execution within the territory. It is important to highlight the difference,

in practical terms, between the effects of ratification and those of

promulgation. If a State ratifies a treaty but does not promulgate it (and

if its constitutional law requires promulgation), the conventional text is

mandatory in the international sphere but not in the internal one. In this

case, the State in question may be asked by other Contracting Parts to

fulfill some of its conventional obligations, but one of its internal

bodies may refuse to do so because of lack of promulgation. The faulty

State then incurs in a situation of international accountability.

PROJECT OF LAW Text presented by the Deputies or Parliamentary Group to the

Parliament, so that the latter can pronounce on it.

PROPOSAL OF LAW Idem to Draft Law

R

RATIFICATION Confirmation, authentication of an act or commitment: ratify a Treaty.

REPEAL Removing validity through a different rule. The repealed rule leaves the

system, interrupting its force. The rule ceases to be valid, to belong to

the legal ordering, and to have special relevance in dogmatic terms.

REVALIDATION Reposition in force of a previously revoked law (or legal precept).

S

STATE

Institution organized politically, socially and legally, occupying a

defined territory, normally where the maximum law is a written

Constitution, and rules by a Government whose sovereignty is

acknowledged both internally and internationally. A sovereign State is

characterized by the saying "One government, one people, one

territory".

STATE GENERAL

BUDGET

Planning instrument that expresses Government Programs monetarily,

in order for a financial exercise, discriminating the objectives and goals

to be achieved by the Public Administration.

T

-

U

UNCONSTITUTIONALITY

Contrariety of the law or normative act (resolution, decrees) regarding

the Constitution. This incompatibility can be formal (lack of observance

of the necessary rules for the process of legislative drafting or edition)

and / or material (concerning the very content of the law or the

normative act, and its conformity with the constitutional principles and

rules).
